azher Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Hi I want to create a custom line with pre-defined text in start, middle and end of line as shown in image. The text should be 3 times per Line / Segment and Editable... Please help...! Edited May 1, 2015 by azher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 You can not have a linetype with variable values. You could do it with a lisp, the length possibly as a field, the text location maybe constrained, so if edited the values change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text should be exactly 3 times per line/segment and Editable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just be a bit patient this is not a 5 minute answer. Anyone link a pline with 3 fields constrained in some way rather than writing the 2 text entries and the length as a field but its complicated by the first section direction. The change in length is the easy bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I tried doing it with a rather peculiar single row table, the left most cell of which contains a field containing the length of the line. This is definitely not the good way to do it. I look forward to seeing a nice dynamic block solution. My first attempt I tried to use a Dim Style devoid of arrows and extension lines, but the middle and right hand fileds got difficult, as their positions were not self adjusting, unlike in a table.

BIGAL Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Dadgad your on the same page as me had a quick look at contstraints but there is nothing about constraining text. I think for the moment two lisps draw a new pline and label, 2nd is label an existing pline. On;y problem is if you move or change the pline length is ok that can be done. The auto labelling in CIV3d may be one way but you need a degree in styles. Back to Azher are you happy with just plines and text matching your images ? This can be done pretty easy.

Yeah BIGAL, I had a play with Contraints too, which I never use, but like yourself, saw no way to constrain text objects. Not for lack of TRYING!
